Google starts with VEO 2: New era of AI video creation
Gemini Advanced: Exclusive AI tools for kinematic videos-AI video creation made easy-VEO 2 now for Gemini users
Google has released its AI video creation model VEO 2 for Gemini Advanced users after a four-month test phase from April 15, 2025. This technology promises kinematic quality for short video clips that can be generated solely by text inputs and marks an important step in AI-based media production. Users with Advanced Gemini account or Google One AI Premium subscription are now available to powerful video creation tools that were previously only accessible.
Suitable for:
Technical specifications and performance
VEO 2 creates videos with remarkable technical properties, but within certain limits. The clips generated by the AI are limited to a maximum length of eight seconds and are output in a 720p resolution in MP4 format with a 16: 9 pages. The videos are rendered with a picture rate of 24 frames per second, which corresponds to the cinema standard.
A special feature of VEO 2 is the improved simulation of physical laws and human movement patterns. Google emphasizes that the model enables fluid character animations through an "improved understanding of physical laws and human movement behavior". This advanced ability helps the generated scenes to have a more authentic and detailed effect than in previous models.
The technological performance is particularly evident in the quality of the animations and visual details. The model can create a variety of visual styles, from realistic representations to imaginative creations. The combination of high image quality and liquid movements makes VEO 2 a powerful tool for creating professional short videos.
Access and availability
Access to VEO 2 is primarily intended for paying customers of Google's premium services. AI video-video is available for users with an Advanced Gemini account on the smartphone and for Google One-AI premium subscribers. This restriction underlines the positioning of VEO 2 as a premium function within the Google ecosystem.
To use VEO 2, justified users can simply select the model from the dropdown menu in the Gemini app. The availability is rolled out worldwide, so Gemini-Advanced users get access to this function in various regions. Google One Ai Premium currently costs around $ 20 per month, which enables access to this and other advanced AI functions.
For developers, Google offers additional access to VEO 2 via Gemini API. This enables the integration of the videoogenization function into your own applications, but at a price of $ 0.35 per generated video customer. This option is particularly interesting for companies and developers who want to integrate VEO 2 into their own products and services.
Functioning and operation
The operation of VEO 2 was deliberately designed to make the technology accessible to a wide range of users. The basic process for generating a video consists of entering a text prompt, which describes the desired scene or a short story. The quality and detail of the results depend heavily on the precision and detail of the description.
Google recommends using detailed descriptions to have more control over the end result. The more precisely the scene, the plot and the desired visual style are described, the better VEO 2 can implement the user's idea. The system interprets the text and creates a video that visually shows the elements described.
For the future, Google plans to add further input options. This includes, for example, the use of a photo or another template as a starting point for video creation. This expansion would further enlarge the creative scope for users and open up new applications.
Possibilities of use and sharing options
VEO 2 offers various ways to use and share the videos created. On the smartphone, the videos can be uploaded and sent directly to social networks such as TikTok and YouTube by part-button. This seamless integration facilitates the spread of content on popular platforms.
In addition, users can create a public link through which the videos can be shared. These links can be embedded on websites or by email, which increases the flexibility when using the generated content. The videos are saved as MP4 files, a widespread format that is compatible with most devices and platforms.
The uses of VEO 2 are diverse. The technology can be used for creative projects, marketing content, short presentations or personal entertainment. This technology offers new ways in particular for content creator and marketing experts to create and share appealing content.
Security measures and restrictions
Google attached great importance to security and responsible use in the development of VEO 2. All videos created with VEO 2 are marked as AI generated using synthid. This digital watermark serves the transparency and helps to distinguish AI generated from human-created content.
Google also emphasizes that "extensive measures have been taken for security". In contrast to some competitors such as Xai of Elon Musk and Meta, who, according to Google, “hardly know any barriers and guardrails”, has integrated restrictions. These guardrails prevent the generation of potentially problematic or inappropriate content.
Another restriction affects the number of videos that users can create monthly. Google has set an upper limit without publicly stating how high it is. The system informs users if they approach this border so that they can plan their use accordingly.
Integration into the Google ecosystem
VEO 2 is not only available as an independent function in Gemini, but is also integrated into other Google services. A remarkable integration is whisk animates, a function that enables users to convert with whisk created images into eight -hour videos. This function is accessible exclusively for Google One AI Premium subscribers via Google Labs.
YouTube has already integrated VEO 2 into its experimental Dream screen function, which enables users to create AI generated video segments for shorts. This integration shows the endeavor of Google, VEO 2 to integrate into its wider product ecosystem and thus create new creative opportunities for content manufacturers.
For developers, Google offers access to VEO 2 via Gemini API, which enables the integration of the videoogenization function into third-party applications. This API availability opens the door for innovative applications and services that build on VEO 2 technology.
Suitable for:
Market position and competition
Google positions VEO 2 in response to Openais Sora Videogenization platform and thus enters an increasingly competitive market. The introduction takes place at a time when various technology companies develop and improve their own AI video-video solutions.
An important competitor is Runway, a leading company in the field of synthetic media that recently published the fourth generation of his video steerer and secured over $ 300 million of new financial resources. This development underlines the growing interest and investments in AI-based videoogenization technologies.
An interesting aspect of the competition concerns the handling of security control planks. While Google emphasizes that VEO 2 has extensive security measures, companies like Xai of Elon Musk and Meta have explained that their AI models "hardly know any limits and guardrails". Openaai also struck similar tones and explained that he had lifted “arbitrary restrictions”. Google deliberately positions itself here as a more responsible alternative.
More efficient and realistic: What VEO 2 for video enthusiasts brings
The introduction of VEO 2 marks an important step in the development of AI-based videoogenization, but it is probably only the beginning. Google has already indicated that further input options will follow, such as the use of photos or other templates as a starting point for video creation.
A practical example of the potential of VEO 2 is shown by Wolf Games, a platform for generative, interactive story games. The company uses VEO 2 to create dynamic, cinematic experiences for their personalized games. According to your own statements, you benefit from significantly improved videoism, more precise motion representation and more precise camera control. Wolf Games reports that you could reduce the number of iterations to achieve the desired visual quality in order to reduce over 60% and the production time was significantly shortened.
This example illustrates the potential of VEO 2 for creative applications, games, marketing and other areas in which short, high -quality video content is required. The technology could change the way video content is created and reduce the entry hurdles for video production.
A significant step in AI videoogenization
The integration of VEO 2 in Gemini represents significant progress in democratization of AI-based video. By combining user-friendly operation with advanced AI technology, Google makes it accessible to create high-quality video content for a broader user base, even if only for premium subscribers.
The technical skills of VEO 2, in particular the improved simulation of physical laws and human movements, enable the creation of impressively realistic short videos. At the same time, Google's approach to security control planks and watermarks shows an awareness of the ethical challenges associated with generative AI technology.
While the current version of VEO 2 comes with restrictions such as the maximum video length of eight seconds and the limited monthly use, integration into different Google services and the availability for developers indicate long-term commitment to this technology. It is expected that future versions will offer extended functions and possibly fewer restrictions.
The introduction of VEO 2 is not only an important step for Google, but also for the broader development of AI-based creative tools. It illustrates how generative AI is increasingly integrated into everyday life and opens up new opportunities for creative forms of expression - a trend that is expected to increase in the coming years.
